"You see a lot of people coming from out of town looking to make a quick buck," Adams said.

The first red flag should be if a contractor is from out of state, said Adams, who recommends only enlisting contractors who are registered with the state.

Adams also said to make sure your insurance adjuster looks at your home and gives you the go-ahead before you start construction. Then, get three different bids for the work and check the contractor's references.

"It is very important that the consumer, the homeowner who has suffered hail damage, takes some precautions to prevent them from becoming a victim," said Adams.

If you are scammed, contact your local police department.
